A historic season ends in a historic way.

One of the best seasons in Wisconsin Badgers history concluded in fairy-tale fashion Saturday night with a 34–24 win in the Orange Bowl over the “host” Miami Hurricanes.

Quarterback Alex Hornibrook earned vindication after a season of criticism, scoring the Orange Bowl Most Valuable Player award after finishing with 258 passing yards and four touchdowns.
